Float

Beneath all the drinking, smoking, dancing, watching, listening, meeting, laughing there still was a constant flux of sadness as if something needed to remind me that things had gone the wrong way. But the truth was that i was more optimistic and open and free than i had ever been. i thought it was about time that i allowed myself to float and see where the river was taking me while i had fun.

Como es posible?

La habia visto por el campus. La habia visto un dia en que habia conciertos de bandas de estudiantes de la universidad. Llebava puesto un vestido veraniego y estaba bailando con sus amigas. Era extraordinariamente atractiva. Tenia un encanto indescriptible que nada tenia que ver con un fisico perfecto.

Me quede totalmente prendado de ella. No podria dejar de mirarla. Cuando me la cruzaba en la biblioteca o por la calle o en un restaurante mis ojos se quedaban fijos en ella como si toda otra realidad no existiera.

La encontre en facebook. Miraba sus fotos preguntandome como era posible.

If this doesn't move you

If this doesn't move you, check with your doctor. You might be dead.

Elogio al detalle

Al contrario de lo que pudiera parecer no ha habido muchos profesores en la universidad que me hayan impactado. Por alguna razon en el instituto los estandares quedaron altos.
Una excepcion fue Jorge Nieto. Impartia un curso de historia del pensamiento economico.
Pura filosofia. El caso es que el no era un experto de la materia pero tenia un talento y un interes extraordinarios.

Al tema. La mejor idea con la me quede, y fueron muchas, fue que cada palabra que los clasicos escribian era exactamente la querian escribir y no otra.

$

Si uno extrapola esa idea genial a todo lo cotidiano, entonces nos queda reconocer que cada gesto, cada situacion de la vida es una expresion de los participantes y sus sentimientos. Aceptar realmente eso es el reto.

AIDS

I've discovered a great place to post photographs. It works with the gmail account and it is provided by google.

I have posted an album of photographs with AIDS as subject.

Back and forth

What did it mean to be back in Spain for more than 2 months? It meant going back to a place in time where things could have gone in many different directions. It was a regression to adolescence life, where a motorbike, beer, music and very lovable girls were the most important matters one had to deal with. I confess it was easy. It was easy to ride a wave like that. No money problems and all the time in the world to decide which movie i was going to watch. I have seen so many that i won't even try to talk about them. I have eaten so many that I am not even sure how they affected me. I took two courses one in photoshop and another in video editing. These means that now you will suffer my amateur attempts in those worlds. Hopefully that won't stop because there is something i knew but didn't listen to, a tree receives the wind, the sun and the water from all it's sides. It doesn't try to scape or manipulate them. Water doesn't allways fall on the ground nor does the sun always heat the leaves.

And what does it mean to be back in Chicago? If you are reading this you are familiar with the major upside down i have gone through. So to be back between the interesting, caring and diverse people that are my friends here it is a blessing. Yesterday, for example, we met to play some music, youdoyourbeststyle. That is a classic in hyde park social club ( meaning Martin's place). As simple as it may sound it is very inspiring.

Hopefully I will be more active now on the blog especially after the recognition that there are at least some friends that check out the colors i share here. To all, readers or not, un fuerte abrazo and thanks for your company and teachings.

Chuntaro's Corner

Maestros hay pocos. Aqui ya he hablado de algunos que me tocan de cerca y de algunos que no quieren serlo.

Ahora solamente quiero recomendar que leais el blog de Tomas. Estoy seguro de que todos podremos disfrutar y aprender. El tio es capaz de hacer de todo. Dicen que el humanista renacentista esta muerto. No conocen a Tomas.

And now in Englich. I would like to recommend Tomas' blog. People say that the renaissance man is dead. They don't know Tomas.
